Every year, Born This Way Foundation hosts #BeKind21, also known as the 21 Days to Be Kind campaign. Inspired by the idea that habits are formed by repeating an activity for 21 consecutive days, #BeKind21 calls on participants to practice an act of kindness each day from September 1st to September 21st. Individuals are invited to take the pledge and share their experience on social media using the hashtag #BeKind21.

Culminating on the U.N. International Day of Peace, #BeKind21 invites schools and colleges to kick off the new school year by establishing kinder habits, and for corporate partners, nonprofit partners, and all other participants to head into the fall with a spirit of compassion and kindness across their organizations and in their communities.

About this Event

Systemic racism exists throughout our society, our communities, and our schools. Discrimination and racial bias against students of color begins as early as pre-school and no school is immune to it. Change will come when we can talk about racial inequities and be strong allies in the fight for inclusion and equity, so all students can achieve their full potential.

Please join No Bully for a free, anti-racism virtual, live workshop on Thursday, September 24th at 4pm PT (7pm EST). In this training for educators, administrators, and mental health professionals, we will explore topics like white privilege, implicit bias, and discuss how racism shows up in education, and what actions we each can take to bring about much needed change.

Antonio Lumley, the author of the children’s book, Brook & Brax: Undercover Ninjas and even more recently, Brook & Brax vs. Pandemik, a children’s comic book with COVID-19 at it’s center. Both the book and the comic book would be great reading for children ages 7 – 13.

About Brook & Brax: Undercover Ninjas:  Brook & Brax face a terrifying reality. Everyday, on their way home from school, they are cornered by bullies Puke and Lil Dumps, who threaten and hurt them. The boys always run and hide to escape further punishment, but one day, something extraordinary happens. While hiding, they are discovered by Sensei Iron Post, a teacher who would change their lives forever.

About Pandemik:  Xtatic Books LLC recognizes that our world and our communities have been
devastatingly impacted by racial, social and economic issues. As our society is grappling
with these ever-important topics, we continue to battle one of the biggest bullies on this earth – the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these extreme circumstances, we will show our support and solidarity by providing a short and free comic to all. The comic, tackles many current and challenging issues from a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) standpoint. The intent is to identify, connect and relate to children during these chaotic times and to let them know that they are not alone.

The link to watch available on October 13, 2020.

Patch proudly partners with No Bully in this endeavor. On Unity Day, Oct. 21, 2020, No Bully and Patch will publish video interviews from several “upstanders,” kids as young as 5 and as old as 17, who have made a difference in the lives of their peers by calling out bullying.

They’ll share what it means to be upstanders, what they’d like for others to understand about bullying and what they think should be done about it.
